People who wish to conflate Zionism with Jewishness often argue that most Jews are Zionists, but so what if they are? Most westerners are propaganda-addled imperialists, but if I didn't believe westerners can and do snap out of that worldview I wouldn't be doing what I do here. In ANY system where people are being indoctrinated at mass scale by the powerful you're going to see the majority of that population buying into the indoctrination, but conflating the people with the political ideology they're indoctrinated with serves only to confuse and distort. If people had conflated "Nazism" with "Germany" that logic could have been used to justify exterminating every German after WWII, but because that distortion wasn't made it opened up the possibility of de-indoctrinating the nation from that pernicious worldview. Betting on the possibility of a better future means drawing a distinction between the people and the unhealthy worldviews they've been indoctrinated with, whether that's Zionism, western imperialism, or anything else. We can only have a healthy world when the people snap out of their propaganda-induced coma and shake off the power-serving worldviews of this diseased civilization.
@caitoz @kellywind Are you advocating exterminating Zionists who don't agree to be indoctrinated with your beliefs? Because your Nazi analogy would seem to suggest that.
@caitoz Nazis called themselves Christians; Daesh called themselves Muslims; Zionists called themselves Jews… But none of the above were ever representative of those Abrahamic faiths, they just use religion for cover for their fascist agendas.
@caitoz Arab Muslim Palestinians are indoctrinated to hate Jews from childhood.
@caitoz Those are a lot of words to say you just use Zionist to try to hide your hatred of Jews
@caitoz Differentiating between individuals and the ideologies they're taught is vital for a better future, showing the importance of breaking free from harmful beliefs like Zionism or western imperialism.
@caitoz Come on does anyone draw that distinction with Black people.
@caitoz Agree with this, but question how successful the German de-indoctrination actually was.
There are more Christian Zionists than Jewish Zionists. There are more than 30 million Christian Zionists in the US according to some estimates. This 2013 Pew Research Poll showed that a higher proportion of white evangelicals than Jews believed God gave Israel to the Jewish People.
